1st Christmas Card for this Year

I know that it is still early to start making my Christmas Cards, but I have some medical issues coming up in the near future, so wanted to start my cards early while I could still get up and move with some amount of comfort. I love the new Christmas stamps from StampinUp. This mouse is especially cute and so I used the color challenge #315 from Pals Paper Arts. This color combo works really well for this card. I stamped out the greeting in Dapper Denim, then stamped out the mouse image twice and colored one with my colored pencils. I fussy cut the sweater from the second stamped image and colored it with the So Saffron then glued it in place. The star is cut from a piece of glitter ribbon. I die cut my image in an oval shape and then cut a scalloped oval from Old Olive cardstock. I am also going to enter this card in a sketch challenge #62 at Stamp Ink Paper.

About Me

Temperatures can get really hot here so I have an excuse to stay indoors and make cards and other paper crafts. I live with and take care of my mother who has Alzheimer's, and a very spoiled little dog named Jazzie! I love making cards, scrapbooks and just working with paper. I hope you enjoy your visit at my blog and come back often.
